# The Dyson Network The Dyson Network is the backend of the Solar Network. We’ve open-sourced it here to ensure full transparency and accessibility for everyone. However, it is not designed for self-hosted due to several limitations: 1. Embedded Branding: Variables, classes, and function names are explicitly tied to the Solar Network. You likely wouldn’t want Solar Network branding appearing on your own instance. 2. Hardcoded URLs: Certain services rely on Solsynth LLC’s infrastructure, with URLs hardcoded directly into the code. This means your instance must remain connected to our services and the internet. 3. No documentation: We do not provide documentation for self-hosting or local deployment. 4. No support: We offer no support for self-hosted deployments. That said, self-hosting remains technically possible if you choose to proceed. Please note that according to the APGL v3 license, if you host a modified version of the software, you must open-source it under the same license. ## Documentation While we don’t support self-hosting, we encourage developers to build applications on this foundation. Check out the OpenAPI Documentation at `/swagger` path on any instance. Or visit our official instance: [Solar Network](https://nt.solian.app/swagger). ## License The source code is under the APGL v3 license.
